"The Man Called X" was one of the first OTR shows that I heard in my early teens. It spurred my interest in listening to the treasury of OTR. While Herbert Marshall was perfect in his role of 'Ken Thurston', I really detested his sidekick, 'Pagon Zelschmidt'. Leon Belasco did his best with the role, but he could not overcome a badly written character. Thurston's boss, 'The Chief', was another poorly created part, but the actor playing(Herb Butterfield I think) played it well. Overall the stories found in "The Man Called X" are entertaining and move along at a pretty good pace.

I really enjoy these shows. I'd rather listen to old time radio than watch TV. Even though I'm watching Boston Blackie now!

Featuring all of the existing episodes of this spy adventure that stars Herbert Marshall as Ken Thurston, Intelligence Agent. The series began as a 1944 summer replacement for Lux Radio Theatre on CBS sponsored by Lockheed. Then in 1945 and 1946, it was a summer replacement for Bob Hope on NBC. Then it was broadcast by NBC and CBS from 1947 to 1951.
